Radical elements within the US government led by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and others used the 9/11 attacks to undermine the democratic rights of the American people by what amounts to suspending the constitution and replacing it with what is essentially fascist legislation: the Patriot Act. As a result, the US now maintains torture camps all over the world - of which Guantanamo (Cuba), Abu Ghraib (Iraq) and Bagram (Afghanistan) - are only the most notorious and wages unrestrained war against civilians in countries that never posed a direct threat to the United States. The recent Wikileaks revelations have shown with what brutality and utter disregard for human life these wars are being conducted (helicopter video). Inside the US things don't look much better with Americans now constantly being monitored and controlled by a police state that has over 2000 agencies watching over their every move, and inhumane treatment being meted out to anyone who dares oppose Washington; Bradley Manning being only one example. If the American people don't claim back their country soon, the USA will turn into a fascist state controlled by an alliance of ultra-right-wing politicians, fundamentalist Christians, and sinister CEOs of large corporations. Such a turn of events would be a disaster for the world. Unfortunately, the election of Obama has changed nothing in Washington's corridors of power. If you enjoyed the clip, why not watch the whole film? (The End of America by Annie Sundberg)
